The morning drama "Massan" modeled on the father of Japanese whiskey Masataka Taketsuru and Rita is very popular. I'm looking forward to seeing it every day, but today I would like to introduce Asa Dora's "Himi" (broadcast in 2008) set in Tsukishima and Tsukuda.

Hitomi Ippongi (20 years old), who plays the theme song by trombone player Eijiro Nakagawa and the opening of the bird's-eye view of Tsukuda and Tsukishima, is the main character Hitomi Ippongi (20 years old), who plays Nana Eikura, who aims to become a hip-hop dancer in Sapporo, started with her mother's Momoko, and she went to Tokyo for the funeral for the first time with her grandfather. My grandfather, Katsutaro, is a foster parent (Tokyo's nursing home system:

He raises three foster children, led by junior high school students, but his eyes go to a dance school in Shibuya while living at his grandfather's home in Tsukishima as a young foster parent instead of his deceased grandmother.

The eyes, who looked at the balance between foster parents and dance, communicated with his grandfather Katsutaro and Satoko, and grew up with the support of the people of Tsukishima, despite various small incidents. On the other hand, at the dance school, dance aims to win the tournament by forming a unit with strong friends while dancing. At the end of the tournament, the unit was dissolved, and the eyes that were attacked by a sense of weakness had grown their eyes with one woman while working at a cosmetics company until now, and now they have been transferred to the Tokyo branch office and work for a men and women of all ages. One day, a father who divorced Momoko with his grandfather Katsutaro appears in Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine. 。 。 From the 25th week, the summer of Keijime, to the 26th week (final week), in the festival town, the drama is finally climaxing with the excavating a large banner, assembling the Sennuki Mikoshi, and the scene toward the day of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reitaisai festival.

In fact, unfortunately, the audience rating of "Eye" was quite low among NHK's past morning dramas, and it seems that it was a work that was very popular in the media and the Internet at the time of broadcasting. Although it is a personal impression, as a drama broadcast during the busy hours of morning such as going to work or going to school, it deals with slightly heavy topics such as foster parents and divorce of parents and rehabilitation, and slowly watch TV It may be the reason that the hurdles for viewers have been raised by the fact that hip-hop, which seems to be somewhat difficult to gain understanding for seniors who can watch. I enjoyed talking while drinking beer slowly at night, but it is recommended that this drama be relaxed and watched slowly. It's a total of 156 times, so don't let me know!

A lot of highlights of Chuo-ku appear in "Himi" set in Tsukishima and Tsukuda, where the atmosphere and human relationships of the downtown area remain strong. Katsutaro's Ippongi Western Shop and Tsukishima's alley scenery on Monja Street in Tsukishima where the eyes live, Chuo-ohashi Bridge and the eyes practice dancing, the Paris Square in Tsukuda where the eyes practice dancing, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine to Kachidokibashi, and Tsukiji Market. In addition, Tsukishima Minami Junior High School (without realism), which is set to go to Satoko's children, seems to have been filmed at Tsukuda Junior High School (Tsukuda 2-chome). The Reitaisai festival, including the imperial procession Funatogyo, can be seen in the drama, so I recommend it especially during the 25th and 26th week (Vol. 13 in DVD) . It seems that it has not been uploaded on NHK's on-demand, but it can be enjoyed on DVDs released by NHK Enterprises (some rentals are also available).

In the daytime, you can enjoy the warm sunshine, but the season is completely winter. When the sun went down, it was a season when you could catch a cold unless you go out with a warm look. Today, I would like to talk about literary works related to Chuo-ku as a recommendation for such a season. In June of this year, on the Chuo-ku sightseeing blog, we talked about Seicho Matsumoto's "Mujukujinbetsu Book" (Bunshun Bunko), set in the Ishikawajimajin Ashoba (/archive / author /ck1401 /), introduced as the second installment. It is Shugoro Yamamoto's "Sabu" (Shincho Bunko).

"In the evening when the light rain burst like a haze, the bust crossed Ryogoku Bridge from west to east, crying. On a twin-striped kimono, a thin corner belt of Kokura, a faded black front hanging, and wet from my head." The story that begins with the lonely appearance of Sabu, which is also the title of the book, goes with Sabu to Eiji, who works at Omogiya Yoshikodo in Nihonbashikobunacho. In the same age, the two who started serving together at the age of 12 were 20 years old, they were able to work well, and Eiji, who was in front of a man, was busy every day with the work of money exchange merchant cotton in Honmachi. I was sending, but one day suddenly my master gives my time. Eiji, who was suspected of being the culprit of the theft that occurred in cotton sentences, tried to clear the innocence, but he ate the front payment from the cotton sentence and, as a result, was put into the prison of Kitamachi magistrate . Eiji, who was desperate for the preparation from his trusted customer and master, closed his mouth at all for the interrogation and did not talk about his address or occupation, so he was considered an innocence person and was sent to the Ishikawajima folk vaudeville. I will. "This place does not consider the detainee as a sinner, those who have a job in their hands can swell in their jobs, and those who do not have a job can find their favorite job. They are paid for those tasks, and they will be the source of proper work when they come to the world." Eiji, who has not heard the explanation of the concentric of the venue, has also grown through various incidents that occur at the venue, fights, storm surges caused by typhoons, exchanges with officials and other detainees, and friendships of old knowledge who visit visits You. "The three years of the visit at the place have been more useful than 10 years in Shaba." After spending more than 200 pages in the visit, Eiji leaves the island and welcomes a happy ending, reveals the mystery of the theft, but let's make it fun to read.

Nowadays, high-rise apartments in Okawabata River City are lined up, and it is a place for people who leave a slight remnant at the monument of Ishikawajima Lighthouse in Tsukuda Park, but "Sabu" takes us to Nihonbashi and Ishikawajima in the Edo period . Why don't you travel around the town of Edo at Shugoro Yamamoto World while warming hot on a cold night?
